Fellow Potter lovers will know that super warm fuzzy feeling you get when you meet another Potterhead….this is the case when I first spoke to Nada, out of our entire phone conversation, I think about 80% of it was discussing Harry Potter – my kind of couple! They had planned a simple, laid back wedding at Richmond Hill hotel, overlooking the gorgeous views of Richmond terrace. Their main goal was to just to relax and spend time enjoying the company of their family and friends on the day. I was completely unsurprised to hear a lot of Disney and Harry Potter music throughout the wedding!

It was cold on this day, but Nada and Bilal didn’t care about that, and happily went for stroll with me along Richmond hill terrace to take in the views and enjoying congratulations wishes from passers by. People do sometimes worry about shooting outside on a winter wedding, but in all honesty, you won’t remember how cold you were even 20 minutes after you’ve been outside, let alone when you come back to look at your pictures in the future! The terrace is absolutely the perfect place to have Richmond Hill hotel wedding photos taken, it looks stunning in any season (I have also shot there in the summer) as well as any time of day, and we were even lucky to get some funky sunset clouds.

Nada and Bilal don’t like to take anything too seriously, so after dinner and speeches it was all about having a laugh with the wedding cake before launching into some very energetic wedding dancing – one of my favourite bits of a wedding! I really enjoyed spending time with them and their fun families and friends, so huge thanks to Nada and Bilal for having me for their Richmond Hill hotel wedding photography.
